Nervous about first submittance

I'm a bit nervous. Should be? Tomorrow I'm going to submit the first part of an article to CC, and the second half on Friday or Saturday. I'm a freelancer. I'm afraid CC might not like it, or may not be brought by consumers, or rejected. Is there a guarantee my work would be accepted, like it does at AC?

CC will accept/approve articles that meet the standards. Make sure that your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct and that your formatting meets the standards.
As for selling: no guarantees. Some articles can sit here for a few minutes. Others can sit for months, if not longer. The advantage, though, is that we set our own prices. We also offer whatever licenses we want (save for giving away articles, that is).

I'm a bit confused about the rights/licenses. I posted a post here awhile back and not response. Can you help? I'm sure it met the standards, and the grammar and spelling are good. I hope someone picks it up. But the submittance format is different with the short and long synopsis.

Ask, maybe we missed a question by you before.
Licenses/rights

I did ask awhile ago. What's the differences between the rights and licenses?

Usage means anyone else can use it too (Ie you can sell it again here) and no changes can be made. Unqiue (I believe) means you cannot sell it again, but no changes can be made. Full rights means the client can make changes and owns copywrite. (hey, I'm still new, so others can correct me if I'm wrong)

Does usage mean I can sell it to someone here or not here?

Either one. Even if you've published it somewhere else, you can still sell it on here for usage rights only. Just not the other two. And as long as you haven't sold something elsewhere, or for unique/full rights here, you can sell it multiple times for usage rights.

So you're saying for usage rights, I can sell it to another market like Associated Content, but not unique/full rights?

Exactly.

Okay. I forgot to add my byline, when I submitted my article. How do I do that, Keesa?

I believe the only way you can do that is by deleting the submission, adding your byline to the text of the article, and resubmitting. Others may be able to give you better advice? but that's how I've always had to do it.

Oh. Maybe I can contact CC about that.
